…the 3D orientation of objects on a noisy background. SCARA robots inspected, packed, and assembled cheeseburgers FANUC recently expanded its line of four-axis SCARA robots to include the SR-3iA/U ceiling mount, featuring a full 360-degree work envelope with no dead zones. In addition, FANUC’s SCARA lineup also includes the SR-3iA/C and SR-6iA/C cleanroom variants. The SR-3iA/U used iRVision 3DV and iRPickTool to pick various parts from a moving circular conveyor, move them to a 2D camera for inspection, then place them onto an outfeed conveyor into the appropriate pass/fail locations. A FANUC SR-12iA robot with the environmental option packed and…

…interested in whether it’s a six-axis robot or a SCARA robot. As the market matures, we will see buyers and sellers finding more common ground here. Klausen: Some of the things we also see in the market is the need to define the adequate automation degree for your automation project. This can be difficult to do without help from experts. Having unrealistic expectations can lead to a project scope that isn't compatible with currently available technology. This can make it difficult to get solution proposals from vendors - or you may end up buying a solution that is too expensive…

New igus energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms igus®, the world leader in motion plastics and moving cable management systems, is launching a new energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms: the Clean SCARA Cable Solution is made of tribologically optimized high-performance plastics and works almost particle-free according to ISO Class 2 even in high-speed applications. It is also stronger and more user-friendly than classic corrugated hoses. In electronics production, tiny particles invisible to the naked eye can wreak havoc, ruining electronic components, semiconductors, and displays. Therefore, it’s critical that machines like SCARA robots, which move rapidly…
